渡劫后期修士，且不说本身神通如何，能够迈入这个境界就非同小可，与真仙相比，虽然还有差距，但毕竟挣脱了寿元的束缚，堪称三界最顶级的存在了。
Late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivators are not ordinary. Even if their own abilities and techniques vary, simply reaching this realm is no small feat. Compared to True Immortals, they may still be lacking, but at least they have broken free from the constraints of lifespan, making them one of the top-tier existences in the Three Realms.
cóng shàng gǔ zhì jīn ， nǎ pà líng jiè yǔ yīn sī chōng tū ， huò zhě jiè miàn tōng dào kāi qǐ ， gǔ mó qián wǎng líng jiè dà dòng gān gē ， yě shǎo yǒu zhè zhǒng cún zài yǔn luò 。
从上古至今，哪怕灵界与阴司冲突，或者界面通道开启，古魔前往灵界大动干戈，也少有这种存在陨落。
Even from ancient times until now, even if there were conflicts between the Spirit Realm and the Netherworld, or if portals opened up, leading to ancient demons wreaking havoc on the Spirit Realm, such powerful figures rarely fell.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， yǔn luò de dù jié hòu qī xiū shì qián hòu bù chāo guò shí gè ！
放眼三界，纵横今古，陨落的渡劫后期修士前后不超过十个！
Across the entire Three Realms, the number of late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivators who have fallen is less than ten.
ér rú jīn ， zài zhè míng dān shàng ， yòu tiān jiā le yí gè huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， tā shí fēn róng xìng de shuā xīn le zhè ge jì lù 。
而如今，在这名单上，又添加了一个黄泉鬼母，她十分荣幸的刷新了这个记录。
And now, a new name has been added to this list: Yellow Springs Demon Mother. She was honored enough to break this record.
ér shí lì dào le tā men zhè ge děng jí ， běn shēn jiù kě qiān dòng tiān dì fǎ zé ， yí dàn yǔn luò ， sān jiè zhī zhōng ， dū huì yǒu yī xiē yì xiàng chū xiàn de 。
而实力到了他们这个等级，本身就可牵动天地法则，一旦陨落，三界之中，都会有一些异象出现的。
At their level, even minor fluctuations in their power can influence the laws of heaven and earth. Once they fall, there will be some anomalies appearing throughout the Three Realms.
yī zhī hú dié shān dòng chì bǎng ， kě zài bǎi wàn lǐ wài yǐn qǐ yī cháng jù dà de fēng bào ， huáng quán guǐ mǔ zhè cì yǔn luò ， yòu huì yǒu zài sān jiè zhī zhōng ， xiān qǐ shén me bō lán ne ？
一只蝴蝶煽动翅膀，可在百万里外引起一场巨大的风暴，黄泉鬼母这次陨落，又会有在三界之中，掀起什么波澜呢？
A butterfly flaps its wings, causing a massive storm thousands of miles away. What kind of waves would Yellow Springs Demon Mother's fall stir up within the Three Realms?
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， shù qiān wàn lǐ zhī wài ， yī piàn huāng fén yìng rù yǎn lián 。
与此同时，数千万里之外，一片荒坟映入眼帘。
At this moment, several million miles away, a desolate graveyard came into view.
luàn fén gǎng ， zhè zài yīn sī jiè kě yǐ shuō shì jí wéi cháng jiàn ， rán ér xiàng yǎn qián zhè zhǒng guī mó ， fén dì zòng héng dá bǎi wàn lǐ ， què jǐn cǐ yī jiā ， zài wú bié chù 。
乱坟岗，这在阴司界可以说是极为常见，然而像眼前这种规模，坟地纵横达百万里，却仅此一家，再无别处。
The Wasteland Cemetery is quite common in the Netherworld. However, there was none like it—stretching over a million square miles, with graves and tombstones everywhere. It was unique in all of the Netherworld.
zhè zhǒng guī mó de fén dì ， zì rán shì jí yīn zhī suǒ ， zhěng piàn fén dì ， dōu bèi jí zhòng de yīn qì shī wù lǒng zhào zhe 。
这种规模的坟地，自然是极阴之所，整片坟地，都被极重的阴气尸雾笼罩着。
This vast graveyard naturally exuded an extremely heavy aura ofyin energy (yin qi). The entire area was shrouded in thick clouds of corpse mist.
bié shuō fán rén bù gǎn jiē jìn cǐ chù ， jiù suàn jìng jiè dī diǎn de xiū xiān zhě ， yí dàn bèi zhè nóng zhòng de shī qì bāo guǒ ， yě wéi yǒu hún fēi pò sàn yī tú ， zhì yú ròu shēn ， zé zì rán shì bèi shī qì tóng huà ， zhuǎn wéi gè zhǒng děng jiē de shī bīng le 。
别说凡人不敢接近此处，就算境界低点的修仙者，一旦被这浓重的尸气包裹，也唯有魂飞魄散一途，至于肉身，则自然是被尸气同化，转为各种等阶的尸兵了。
Not only would ordinary humans dare not approach this place, but even cultivators with lower realms who were enveloped by such dense corpse mist could only scatter their souls and bodies. Their physical forms would be assimilated into various grades of Corpse Soldiers.
jiāng shī ， nǎi rén sǐ hòu ròu shēn de tōng líng zhī wù ， xíng chéng tiáo jiàn jí wéi kē kè 。
僵尸，乃人死后肉身的通灵之物，形成条件极为苛刻。
Zombies are the spirits of human corpses after death, forming under extremely stringent conditions.
rán ér zài zhè yī piàn qū yù de jiāng shī ， shù liàng què shì jí duō 。 dá bǎi yì zhī shù 。
然而在这一片区域的僵尸，数量却是极多。达百亿之数。
However, in this region, there were countless zombies numbering in the billions.
chú le kuǐ lěi zhī wù ， yǐ jīng tà rù xiū xíng dào de gāo jiē jiāng shī ， shù liàng yì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
除了傀儡之物，已经踏入修行道的高阶僵尸，数量亦数不胜数。
In addition to puppets, many high-grade zombies that had already entered the cultivation path also numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
yīn wèi zhè lǐ shì jīn yuè shī wáng de qī shēn zhī chù 。
因为这里是金玥尸王的栖身之处。
This was because it was the abode of Golden Jade Corpse King.
jīn yuè shī wáng ！
金玥尸王！
Golden Jade Corpse King!
yīn sī liù wáng zhī yī ， shí lì kān yǔ sàn xiān xiāng bǐ 。 xī rì ， yì shì yuè ér shǒu xià de dà jiàng zhī yī 。
阴司六王之一，实力堪与散仙相比。昔日，亦是月儿手下的大将之一。
One of the Six Kings of the Netherworld, his strength could match Loose Immortals. In the past, he was one of Moonlet's generals.
rán ér rú jīn ， què xiǎng yào qǔ xià yuè ér de tóu lú ， yōu tán wǔ guǐ 。 huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， jiē shì tā pài guò qù de 。
然而如今，却想要取下月儿的头颅，幽谭五鬼。黄泉鬼母，皆是他派过去的。
However, now he wanted to take off Moonlet's head. The Five Ghosts of the Dark Abyss: Yellow Springs Demon Mother were all dispatched by him.
luàn fēng gǎng shēn chù ， shī qì zuì wèi nóng zhòng zhī suǒ 。
乱风岗深处，尸气最为浓重之所。
In the deepest part of the Wasteland Cemetery, where the corpse mist was thickest.
zhè ér yǒu yī zuò shàng gǔ jù mù 。
这儿有一座上古巨墓。
There stood an ancient grand tomb.
suī shì fén mù ， què bǐ shì sú de huáng gōng hái yào zhuàng guān dé duō ， zhàn dì chāo guò wàn mǔ ， dào chù dōu yǒu shī bīng ， shī jiāng zài nà lǐ xún luó 。
虽是坟墓，却比世俗的皇宫还要壮观得多，占地超过万亩，到处都有尸兵，尸将在那里巡逻。
Although it was a grave, it was more magnificent than any imperial palace in the secular world, covering over ten thousand acres. Corpses and Corpse Marshals patrolled everywhere within its walls.
fén mù bèi nóng zhòng de shī qì bāo guǒ ， gèng yǒu yī gǔ hóng huāng de qì xī sàn fà ér chū 。
坟墓被浓重的尸气包裹，更有一股洪荒的气息散发而出。
The thick corpse mist enveloped the tomb, with a primordial aura emanating from it.
zài zuì shēn chù de yī jiān mù shì lǐ ， bìng pái fàng zài jǐ jù shí guān 。
在最深处的一间墓室里，并排放在几具石棺。
In one of the deepest chambers, several stone coffins were placed side by side.
ér zài shí guān de qián miàn shí yú zhàng yuǎn de gāo tái shàng 。 yǒu yī jù dà de wáng zuò 。
而在石棺的前面十余丈远的高台上。有一巨大的王座。
On a high platform about ten meters in front of these stone coffins stood an enormous throne.
wáng zuò zhī dà 。 ràng rén chēng mù jié shé 。 rán ér shàng miàn bìng méi yǒu zuò zhe yī wèi wáng zhě ， ér shì yī jù dà de qīng tóng guān guǒ zài shàng miàn bǎi fàng zhe ， shǎn shuò zhe yōu hán de guāng zé 。 ràng rén wén zhī biàn sè 。
王座之大。让人瞠目结舌。然而上面并没有坐着一位王者，而是一巨大的青铜棺椁在上面摆放着，闪烁着幽寒的光泽。让人闻之变色。
The size of this throne was astonishing. However, there was no king sitting on it; instead, a large bronze coffin lay there, radiating a cold and eerie light that made one's blood run cold.
tū rán yī shēng lì hǒu chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà tóng guān hòu hòu de guān gài jìng rán fēi le qǐ lái 。 rán hòu chóng chóng luò dào gāo tái de xià miàn 。
突然一声厉吼传入耳朵，那铜棺厚厚的棺盖竟然飞了起来。然后重重落到高台的下面。
Suddenly, a fierce roar entered the ears as the thick lid of the bronze coffin flew open and crashed onto the platform below.
tóng guān zhōng hái yǒu yī jù xiǎo guān cái ， dàn yě yǒu shù zhàng dà xiǎo ， dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， rén lì qǐ lái ， guān cái dǎ kāi ， cǎn bái sè de shī wù liáo rào mí màn ， yī jù dà de shēn yǐng cóng lǐ miàn zhàn le qǐ lái 。
铜棺中还有一具小棺材，但也有数丈大小，滴溜溜一转，人立起来，棺材打开，惨白色的尸雾缭绕弥漫，一巨大的身影从里面站了起来。
Inside the bronze coffin was another small coffin, about several meters in size. It spun around before standing upright. The coffin opened, releasing a pale white corpse mist that enveloped it, and a massive figure emerged from within.
“ wáng ， hé shì fā nù ？”
“王，何事发怒？”
"King, why are you angry?"
lìng wài jǐ jù shí guān yě kāi shǐ yìng hè ， yī dǎ ér kāi ， wǔ gè gāo ǎi bù yī de shēn yǐng tóng yàng yǐn cáng zài shī qì lǐ miàn 。
另外几具石棺也开始应和，一打而开，五个高矮不一的身影同样隐藏在尸气里面。
The other stone coffins began to open as well, revealing five figures of varying heights hidden within the corpse mist.
miàn mù suī rán kàn bù qīng chǔ ， rán ér zhè wǔ gè jiā huo suǒ sàn fà chū lái de qì xī sī háo bù ruò yú huáng quán guǐ mǔ 。
面目虽然看不清楚，然而这五个家伙所散发出来的气息丝毫不弱于黄泉鬼母。
Though their faces were indistinct, these five individuals exuded an aura no weaker than Yellow Springs Demon Mother's.
dù jié hòu qī ！
渡劫后期！
Late-stage Golden Tribulation!
zhì yú gāo tái shàng de jīn yuè shī wáng ， nà gèng bù yòng tí ， huáng quán guǐ mǔ yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì lóu yǐ 。
至于高台上的金玥尸王，那更不用提，黄泉鬼母与他相比，简直就是蝼蚁。
As for the Golden Jade Corpse King on the platform, he was even more formidable. Compared to Yellow Springs Demon Mother, she was but a mere ant.
dù jié hòu qī xiū shì zhī jiān ， yì yǒu zhe tài dà de chā jù 。
渡劫后期修士之间，亦有着太大的差距。
There was still a significant gap between late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivators.
ruò shì lǐng wù le lǐng yù ， jiù suàn miàn duì jǐ míng pǔ tōng hòu qī xiū shì de wéi gōng ， yě néng qīng sōng qǔ shèng méi yǒu xuán niàn dì 。
若是领悟了领域，就算面对几名普通后期修士的围攻，也能轻松取胜没有悬念地。
If they had mastered their own domains, they could easily defeat several ordinary late-stage cultivators without any悬念 (suspense).
“ méi yòng de dōng xī ， huáng quán guǐ mǔ yǔn luò le 。”
“没用的东西，黄泉鬼母陨落了。”
"Useless things, Yellow Springs Demon Mother has fallen."
jīn yuè shī wáng yā yì zhe fèn nù ， tā de shēng yīn yǐ jīng píng jìng xià lái le ， zuò wéi yī wèi wáng zhě ， qǐ néng yīn wèi yì diǎn xiǎo shì jiù nù xíng yú sè 。
金玥尸王压抑着愤怒，他的声音已经平静下来了，作为一位王者，岂能因为一点小事就怒形于色。
Golden Jade Corpse King suppressed his anger. His voice had already calmed down; as a king, he couldn't show his emotions over trivial matters.
“ shén me ， huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， wáng bú shì pài tā qù xún zhǎo ā xiū luó de cáng shēn zhī chù 。”
“什么，黄泉鬼母，王不是派她去寻找阿修罗的藏身之处。”
"What? Yellow Springs Demon Mother! Didn't you send her to find where the Asura is hiding?"
“ zěn me kě néng ， huáng quán guǐ mǔ shí lì suī bù jí wǒ děng ， dàn yì shì dù jié hòu qī ， ā xiū luó shēn biān ， yīng gāi méi yǒu rén néng gòu yǔ tā xiāng bǐ 。”
“怎么可能，黄泉鬼母实力虽不及我等，但亦是渡劫后期，阿修罗身边，应该没有人能够与她相比。”
"How could that be possible? Although she may not match us in strength, she's still late-stage Golden Tribulation. There shouldn't be anyone near the Asura who can compare to her."
“ bù cuò ， jiù suàn shì jiè zhù jìn zhì zhī lì ， zài duō rén wéi gōng ， shēn wèi dù jié hòu qī de dà xiū shì ， yì méi yǒu nà me róng yì yǔn luò ， dǎ bù guò ， táo ， zǒng shì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。”
“不错，就算是借助禁制之力，再多人围攻，身为渡劫后期的大修士，亦没有那么容易陨落，打不过，逃，总是没有问题的。”
"Exactly, even if it were with the aid of restrictions, no matter how many people attack, as a late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivator, it wouldn't be easy for her to fall. If she can't fight back, she could always escape."
nà wǔ míng shī shuài miàn miàn xiāng qù ， shēng yīn wú bù jīng yà yǐ jí 。
那五名尸帅面面相觑，声音无不惊讶以极。
The five Corpse Marshals exchanged glances, their voices filled with astonishment.
“ nán dào ……”
“难道……”
"Could it be..."
qí zhōng yī shēn xíng jiāo xiǎo de jiā huo kāi kǒu ， tīng shēng yīn sì hū shì yī nǚ zǐ lái zhe 。
其中一身形娇小的家伙开口，听声音似乎是一女子来着。
One of the smaller figures spoke up, sounding like a woman.
“ sān mèi ， nǐ yǒu shén me jiàn jiě 。”
“三妹，你有什么见解。”
"Sister Three, what do you think?"
“ bù cuò ， zài wáng de miàn qián nán dào hái xū yǐn mán shén me ， kuài shuō ！”
“不错，在王的面前难道还需隐瞒什么，快说！”
"It's true; in front of the King, there's no need to hide anything. Speak quickly!"
tā de jǐ míng tóng bàn lián máng cuī cù 。
她的几名同伴连忙催促。
Her companions urged her on.
“ chú fēi yīn sī liù wáng zhōng yǒu qí tā rén tóu xiào le ā xiū luó wáng ， wéi yǒu zhè ge děng jiē de cún zài chū shǒu ， cái néng qīng yì mǒ shā diào yī dù jié hòu qī xiū shì de ……” nà nǚ zǐ yǒu xiē chí yí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiǎn rán duì zhè ge cāi cè yì méi yǒu tài dà de bǎ wò 。
“除非阴司六王中有其他人投效了阿修罗王，唯有这个等阶的存在出手，才能轻易抹杀掉一渡劫后期修士的……”那女子有些迟疑的声音传入耳朵，显然对这个猜测亦没有太大的把握。
"Unless one of the other Six Kings has defected to Asura, only this level of existence could easily eliminate a late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivator..." The woman's hesitant voice entered their ears, indicating that she wasn't entirely sure about this guess.
“ shén me ， qí tā de wáng tóu xiào le ā xiū luó wáng ， sān mèi ， nǐ zhè ge cāi cè shì bú shì tài lí pǔ ？”
“什么，其他的王投效了阿修罗王，三妹，你这个猜测是不是太离谱？”
"What? Other kings have defected to Asura! Sister Three, is your guess too far-fetched?"
“ bù cuò ， rú jīn de ā xiū luó jīn fēi xī bǐ ， bù guò shì yī xiǎo yā tou ér yǐ ， jí biàn nǐ wǒ ， yì néng jiāng qí miè chú ， qí tā de wáng ， zěn me gān xīn zài tīng qí hào lìng ne ？”
“不错，如今的阿修罗今非昔比，不过是一小丫头而已，即便你我，亦能将其灭除，其他的王，怎么甘心再听其号令呢？”
"Indeed. Now the Asura has changed; she's just a little girl. Even you and I could eliminate her. Why would other kings be willing to listen to her commands again?"
“ zhè yě nán shuō ， tīng shuō tā de xiū liàn zī zhì jí wéi lí pǔ ， duǎn duǎn shù qiān nián jiù yǐ dào le dù jié chū qī de chéng dù ， zhè yàng xià qù ， chí zǎo huì chéng wéi xīn de ā xiū luó wáng de 。”
“这也难说，听说她的修炼资质极为离谱，短短数千年就已到了渡劫初期的程度，这样下去，迟早会成为新的阿修罗王的。”
"It's hard to say. It's said that her cultivation potential is extraordinary, reaching late-stage Golden Tribulation in just a few thousand years. If this continues, she will eventually become the new Asura."
jǐ wèi shī shuài jiàn jiě bù yī ， jìng rán jiù cǐ zhēng lùn le xià qù 。
几位尸帅见解不一，竟然就此争论了下去。
The Corpse Marshals had differing opinions and began arguing.
“ xíng le ， bú yào shuō le ， cǐ shì běn wáng huì chá yí gè shuǐ luò shí chū ， zài cǐ zhī qián bú yào qīng jǔ wàng dòng ， duì fāng jì rán néng miè shā huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， pǔ tōng de xiū shì qián qù kǒng pà yì méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， piān piān nà jǐ gè lǎo jiā huǒ jū xīn pǒ cè ， fǒu zé ， běn wáng dōu xiǎng yào qīn zì chū mǎ le 。” wáng zuò shàng de gāo dà hēi yǐng tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō 。
“行了，不要说了，此事本王会查一个水落石出，在此之前不要轻举妄动，对方既然能灭杀黄泉鬼母，普通的修士前去恐怕亦没有用处，偏偏那几个老家伙居心叵测，否则，本王都想要亲自出马了。”王座上的高大黑影叹了一口气的说。
"Enough, don't talk about it anymore. I'll investigate to get to the bottom of this. For now, don't act rashly. Since someone was able to eliminate Yellow Springs Demon Mother, ordinary cultivators won't be useful. Those old fellows have ulterior motives; otherwise, I would want to take action myself," said the tall black figure on the throne.
“ wáng ， wàn wàn bù kě ， tiān shā míng wáng yǔ xuán yīn guǐ wáng tóng wǒ men yí xiàng bù hé ， nín ruò bù néng gòu zuò zhèn cǐ chù ， nà liǎng gè jiā huo yí dìng huì chèn xū ér rù 。”
“王，万万不可，天煞明王与玄阴鬼王同我们一向不和，您若不能够坐镇此处，那两个家伙一定会趁虚而入。”
"King, you must not do it. The Fiendish Starlight King and the Yin-Yang Ghost King are always at odds with us. If Your Majesty cannot remain here, those two will surely take advantage of the situation."
“ bù cuò ， bié shuō wáng shàng ， biàn shì wǒ men wǔ míng shī shuài yì bù gǎn shàn lí zhè luàn fén gǎng ， fǒu zé ， dōu yǒu kě néng yǐn lái qí yú liǎng wáng 。”
“不错，别说王上，便是我们五名尸帅亦不敢擅离这乱坟岗，否则，都有可能引来其余两王。”
"It's true; even we five Corpse Marshals dare not leave this Wasteland Cemetery. Otherwise, there's a risk that the other two kings might come."
“ hēi ， hù xiāng chè zhǒu ， ruò fēi zhè xiē mù guāng duǎn qiǎn zhī tú ， běn wáng zǎo jiù qīn zì dòng shǒu ， qù shā le ā xiū luó ， zhè yàng xià qù ， chí zǎo huì yǎng hǔ wéi huàn de 。” jīn yuè shī wáng bù gān xīn de shuō 。
“嘿，互相掣肘，若非这些目光短浅之徒，本王早就亲自动手，去杀了阿修罗，这样下去，迟早会养虎为患的。”金玥尸王不甘心的说。
"Ha, mutual checks and balances. If it weren't for these short-sighted fellows, I would have acted long ago to kill Asura. This way, sooner or later, we will be nurturing tigers to our detriment," said Golden Jade Corpse King with reluctance.
“ wáng bù yòng fán nǎo ， jiù suàn nà xiǎo yā tou zī zhì lí pǔ ， xiǎng yào chéng wéi xī rì de ā xiū luó wáng ， méi yǒu wàn nián de shí jiān ， yě jué rán bàn bú dào ， ér zhè me zhǎng de shí jiān ， zú gòu wáng shàng chóu móu ， jiāng tā miè shā yú méng yá zhōng de ， zhè yīn sī dì fǔ ， bù zài xū yào ā xiū luó ， ér zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， nín huì chéng wéi xīn de yīn sī zhī zhǔ 。” yī jūn shī mú yàng de shī shuài kāi kǒu le ， què shì mǎn liǎn de fèng chéng zhī sè 。
“王不用烦恼，就算那小丫头资质离谱，想要成为昔日的阿修罗王，没有万年的时间，也决然办不到，而这么长的时间，足够王上筹谋，将她灭杀于萌芽中的，这阴司地府，不再需要阿修罗，而总有一天，您会成为新的阴司之主。”一军师模样的尸帅开口了，却是满脸的奉承之色。
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if that little girl's potential is extraordinary, becoming the old Asura in a few thousand years is impossible. In this time, there will be enough for Your Majesty to plan and eliminate her before she becomes a threat. The Netherworld no longer needs Asura, and one day, you will become the new ruler of the Netherworld," said a Corpse Marshal who seemed like an advisor, with a sycophantic smile.
rán ér jīn yuè shī wáng bù yǐ wéi wǔ ， liǎn shàng fǎn ér lù chū jí wéi huān xǐ de shén sè ：“ bù cuò ， zhè me duō nián wǒ dōu děng guò lái le ， yě bù chà zài zhè yī kè ， dài wǒ jiāng jīn yuè tiān shī jué xiū liàn dào dà chéng de dì bù ， biàn shì zhēn xiān yě bù fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， hái pà shén me ā xiū luó ？”
然而金玥尸王不以为忤，脸上反而露出极为欢喜的神色：“不错，这么多年我都等过来了，也不差在这一刻，待我将金玥天尸诀修炼到大成的地步，便是真仙也不放在眼中，还怕什么阿修罗？”
However, Golden Jade Corpse King did not take offense; instead, he wore a delighted expression: "Exactly. I've waited for so long, and it won't matter if I wait just one more moment. Once I master the Golden Jade Heavenly Corpse Technique to its fullest extent, even True Immortals will be insignificant. What does Asura fear?"
Late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivators are not ordinary. Even if their own abilities and techniques vary, simply reaching this realm is no small feat. Compared to True Immortals, they may still be lacking, but at least they have broken free from the constraints of lifespan, making them one of the top-tier existences in the Three Realms.
Even from ancient times until now, even if there were conflicts between the Spirit Realm and the Netherworld, or if portals opened up, leading to ancient demons wreaking havoc on the Spirit Realm, such powerful figures rarely fell.
Across the entire Three Realms, the number of late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivators who have fallen is less than ten.
And now, a new name has been added to this list: Yellow Springs Demon Mother. She was honored enough to break this record.
At their level, even minor fluctuations in their power can influence the laws of heaven and earth. Once they fall, there will be some anomalies appearing throughout the Three Realms.
A butterfly flaps its wings, causing a massive storm thousands of miles away. What kind of waves would Yellow Springs Demon Mother's fall stir up within the Three Realms?
...
At this moment, several million miles away, a desolate graveyard came into view.
The Wasteland Cemetery is quite common in the Netherworld. However, there was none like it—stretching over a million square miles, with graves and tombstones everywhere. It was unique in all of the Netherworld.
This vast graveyard naturally exuded an extremely heavy aura ofyin energy (yin qi). The entire area was shrouded in thick clouds of corpse mist.
Not only would ordinary humans dare not approach this place, but even cultivators with lower realms who were enveloped by such dense corpse mist could only scatter their souls and bodies. Their physical forms would be assimilated into various grades of Corpse Soldiers.
Zombies are the spirits of human corpses after death, forming under extremely stringent conditions.
However, in this region, there were countless zombies numbering in the billions.
In addition to puppets, many high-grade zombies that had already entered the cultivation path also numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
This was because it was the abode of Golden Jade Corpse King.
Golden Jade Corpse King!
One of the Six Kings of the Netherworld, his strength could match Loose Immortals. In the past, he was one of Moonlet's generals.
However, now he wanted to take off Moonlet's head. The Five Ghosts of the Dark Abyss: Yellow Springs Demon Mother were all dispatched by him.
In the deepest part of the Wasteland Cemetery, where the corpse mist was thickest.
There stood an ancient grand tomb.
Although it was a grave, it was more magnificent than any imperial palace in the secular world, covering over ten thousand acres. Corpses and Corpse Marshals patrolled everywhere within its walls.
The thick corpse mist enveloped the tomb, with a primordial aura emanating from it.
In one of the deepest chambers, several stone coffins were placed side by side.
On a high platform about ten meters in front of these stone coffins stood an enormous throne.
The size of this throne was astonishing. However, there was no king sitting on it; instead, a large bronze coffin lay there, radiating a cold and eerie light that made one's blood run cold.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a fierce roar entered the ears as the thick lid of the bronze coffin flew open and crashed onto the platform below.
Inside the bronze coffin was another small coffin, about several meters in size. It spun around before standing upright. The coffin opened, releasing a pale white corpse mist that enveloped it, and a massive figure emerged from within.
"King, why are you angry?"
The other stone coffins began to open as well, revealing five figures of varying heights hidden within the corpse mist.
Though their faces were indistinct, these five individuals exuded an aura no weaker than Yellow Springs Demon Mother's.
Late-stage Golden Tribulation!
As for the Golden Jade Corpse King on the platform, he was even more formidable. Compared to Yellow Springs Demon Mother, she was but a mere ant.
There was still a significant gap between late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivators.
If they had mastered their own domains, they could easily defeat several ordinary late-stage cultivators without any悬念 (suspense).
"Useless things, Yellow Springs Demon Mother has fallen."
Golden Jade Corpse King suppressed his anger. His voice had already calmed down; as a king, he couldn't show his emotions over trivial matters.
"What? Yellow Springs Demon Mother! Didn't you send her to find where the Asura is hiding?"
"How could that be possible? Although she may not match us in strength, she's still late-stage Golden Tribulation. There shouldn't be anyone near the Asura who can compare to her."
"Exactly, even if it were with the aid of restrictions, no matter how many people attack, as a late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivator, it wouldn't be easy for her to fall. If she can't fight back, she could always escape."
The five Corpse Marshals exchanged glances, their voices filled with astonishment.
"Could it be..."
One of the smaller figures spoke up, sounding like a woman.
"Sister Three, what do you think?"
"It's true; in front of the King, there's no need to hide anything. Speak quickly!"
Her companions urged her on.
"Unless one of the other Six Kings has defected to Asura, only this level of existence could easily eliminate a late-stage Golden Tribulation cultivator..." The woman's hesitant voice entered their ears, indicating that she wasn't entirely sure about this guess.
"What? Other kings have defected to Asura! Sister Three, is your guess too far-fetched?"
"Indeed. Now the Asura has changed; she's just a little girl. Even you and I could eliminate her. Why would other kings be willing to listen to her commands again?"
"It's hard to say. It's said that her cultivation potential is extraordinary, reaching late-stage Golden Tribulation in just a few thousand years. If this continues, she will eventually become the new Asura."
...
The Corpse Marshals had differing opinions and began arguing.
"Enough, don't talk about it anymore. I'll investigate to get to the bottom of this. For now, don't act rashly. Since someone was able to eliminate Yellow Springs Demon Mother, ordinary cultivators won't be useful. Those old fellows have ulterior motives; otherwise, I would want to take action myself," said the tall black figure on the throne.
"King, you must not do it. The Fiendish Starlight King and the Yin-Yang Ghost King are always at odds with us. If Your Majesty cannot remain here, those two will surely take advantage of the situation."
"It's true; even we five Corpse Marshals dare not leave this Wasteland Cemetery. Otherwise, there's a risk that the other two kings might come."
"Ha, mutual checks and balances. If it weren't for these short-sighted fellows, I would have acted long ago to kill Asura. This way, sooner or later, we will be nurturing tigers to our detriment," said Golden Jade Corpse King with reluctance.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if that little girl's potential is extraordinary, becoming the old Asura in a few thousand years is impossible. In this time, there will be enough for Your Majesty to plan and eliminate her before she becomes a threat. The Netherworld no longer needs Asura, and one day, you will become the new ruler of the Netherworld," said a Corpse Marshal who seemed like an advisor, with a sycophantic smile.
However, Golden Jade Corpse King did not take offense; instead, he wore a delighted expression: "Exactly. I've waited for so long, and it won't matter if I wait just one more moment. Once I master the Golden Jade Heavenly Corpse Technique to its fullest extent, even True Immortals will be insignificant. What does Asura fear?"
